Moduli for spherical maps and minimal immersions of homogeneous spaces.
In [24], we studied the singularities of solutions of Monge-Ampère equations of hyperbolic type. Then we saw that the singularities of solutions do not coincide with the singularities of solution surfaces. In this note we first study the singularities of solution surfaces. Next, as the applications, we consider the singularities of surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. Our problems are as follows: 1) What kinds of singularities may appear?, and 2) How can we extend the surfaces beyond the singularities?...
Existence and uniqueness theorems for weak solutions of a complex Monge-Ampère equation are established, extending the Bedford-Taylor pluripotential theory. As a consequence, using the Tian-Yau-Zelditch theorem, it is shown that geodesics in the space of Kähler potentials can be approximated by geodesics in the spaces of Bergman metrics. Motivation from Donaldson’s program on constant scalar curvature metrics and Yau’s strategy of approximating Kähler metrics by Bergman metrics is also discussed....
We consider the self-dual conformal classes on discovered by LeBrun. These depend upon a choice of points in hyperbolic -space, called monopole points. We investigate the limiting behavior of various constant scalar curvature metrics in these conformal classes as the points approach each other, or as the points tend to the boundary of hyperbolic space. There is a close connection to the orbifold Yamabe problem, which we show is not always solvable (in contrast to the case of compact manifolds)....
